A couple days ago I was reading an article on the life of Elon Musk, the millionaire inventor of Tesla, SpaceX, and the more recent Neuralink, and I marveled at how “human” he is, next to all of us, there’s nothing fantastical, he’s a person that made mistakes, lost battles, endured defeat.

The important detail, that differentiates him from the many and places him in Olympus of those who “change the world because they believe,” is the number of times that he reacted to adversity, he was not discouraged by negative situations, he bet on himself, he believed in his ideas and, above all, in himself.

He is one like few in the world, but those few are truly many, by now, if we consider Jobs, Gates, and many others.

5 Advice

One learns from making mistakes …. Says the proverb. After failure its’ important to not give up and to try again, to keep a positive attitude and to tap into our will power and our ability for resilience. Even this is not enough if, when he try again, we continue to make the same mistakes.

How do we make ourselves learn from our errors? Here are 5 simple pieces of advicefrom my child:

Take a second to pause

Let’s take some time to distract ourselves from the problem and calm down our emotions.

Rage, delusion, frustration, and other negative feelings need to run their course, otherwise we’ll never be able to confront things with objectivity.

Analyze the problem

Let’s begin to analyze the reasons behind our failure from every aspect.

Let’s start from the goal that we’ve set. Is it really a total disaster? Or in trying to get 100 have we know achieved 50?

Let’s focus on the positive facts and on the successes that we’ve obtained anyway. Otherwise, try to understand the defects in our project and in our conduct, the reasons that have brought about a negative event.
